Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
Yes, the tuition is extremely high, but I am certainly getting my money's worth. All of the teachers I have had so far have been extremely helpful both in and out of class, and they clearly have a passion for the subjects they teach, which definitely helps me learn.
Alisha from Knoxville, TN
The school and all the amenities costs about $50,000 a year. Is it worth it? In my opinion yes because the various shortcomings of Sewanee is overshadowed by everything I have said above about Sewanee.
Daniel from Cowan, TN
Its quite expensive, so keep them grades up and turn in fafsa and parent information in early.
David from Little Rock, AR
It's hard to comment on this. It just depends on what kind of scholarship or loan you receive. At face value, Sewanee is very expensive, but it is also generous with its academic scholarships, which is what I received. For me, I am receiving my money's worth.
I have to say, Sewanee is VERY expensive. It's not the most expensive school out there, but the tuition is pretty high. I love everything about Sewanee, from the classes available to the professors that teach them. I love the campus as well, and I like almost every student I've met here. Although paying the tuition is stressful, I really do think that it's worth it to be here.
